Brown Butter Zoodles with Walnut Crumb
1 zucchini
1-1/2 Tbsp. salted butter
Juice 1/2 lemon
1/4 c. walnut halves
2 handfulls rocket (arugula)
6 – 8 sprigs thyme
2 cloves garlic
Salt & pepper
1 ounce spreadable cheese (like Laughing Cow) or goat cheese (optional)
Whiz your walnuts until they’re dust. Zoodle your zucchini. Set both aside.
In a large pan, heat the butter over medium-high. Slice and add the garlic when it’s ready. Add the thyme sprigs and cook until browned.
When the butter is browned, pull the thyme and add the zoodles, lemon juice and walnut dust. Toss well to combine. Add a hit of salt and pepper.
When the zucchini is cooked through and the mixture is less wet, add the arugula. Toss to combine. Cook until the arugula is wilted.
Plate and top with crumbles of cheese if desired.
Serves 1 for dinner

DH spends all morning tearing the house up looking for his work knife.
I open the cabinet to put Thanksgiving dishes away and get assaulted by some Irishmen.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
This year I am thankful for the new chapter DH and I have had the good fortune to have started and the wonderful new friends we got to celebrate with.
This year’s spread:
Appetizers: veggie plate, lemon Parmesan dip, pistachio crusted goat cheese balls, Ritz crackers and homegrown watermelon from one of DH’s coworkers.
The Main Event: Roast Doha chickens with arugula, pine nuts and raisins.
Sides: Brussels sprouts with Parmesan, Roast green beans with French fried onions, fantastic mashed potatoes brought by a friend, onion gravy, roasted garlic mashed cauliflower, roasted baby onions & Brussels sprouts with bacon.
Desserts: apple tartlets, low carb strawberry and almond parfaits, and unfortunately not pictured chili brownies brought by a friend.
Also not pictured: a huge basket of bread, cranberry jelly, and drinks out the wazoo.
I’d say it was a success. I’m ridiculously full.

They can’t all be beach days –
This picture might not be sexy to you, but to me it means I get to serve my favorite vegetable on Thanksgiving. I’ve looked high and low for these babies, and had almost given up hope for them happening this week!
